Minor changes include: • Addition of Oracle Linux 6 GPG keys • Addition of Oracle Linux repositories to the spacewalk-common-channels tool • Addition of an Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) plug-in for the spacewalk-repo-sync tool • Branding changes 1.2 Installing and Configuring a Spacewalk Server 1.2.1 Oracle Linux Requirements Oracle supports Spacewalk servers that are running on Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64). You should install Oracle Linux 6 using the Minimal or Basic Server software set. If you select additional package groups during installation, you must remove the jta package before installing Spacewalk, as this package causes Spacewalk services to fail to start. Only install Spacewalk using the packages provided by Oracle from the Oracle Yum Server repository at http://yum.oracle.com. No third-party package repositories are required to install Spacewalk on Oracle Linux 6. All the required packages are available in the Oracle Linux Spacewalk repository. As a minimum, a Spacewalk server should have 8GB RAM. If the Spacewalk server also runs the database for the Spacewalk data, this memory requirement is in addition to what is required to run the database. 1.2.2 Database Requirements A database is required to store the Spacewalk data. The database options are: • Oracle Database • Oracle Database Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) • PostgreSQL Oracle only supports Oracle Database for use with Spacewalk. Oracle Database XE and PostgreSQL are not supported. Oracle does not provide any tools for migrating from an unsupported database. Oracle Database Requirements You must have an Oracle Database server installed and available before you install Spacewalk. Only Oracle Database 11gR2, release 11.2.0.3 or later, is supported. Oracle Database 12c is not supported. To obtain the correct Oracle Database 11gR2 release, you must download the software from My Oracle Support (MOS) at https://support.oracle.com. 1 Storage Requirements Documentation for Oracle database is available

  • Automating the Enterprise with Ansible
    AUTOMATING THE ENTERPRISE WITH ANSIBLE Dustin Boyd Solutions Architect September 12, 2017 EVERY ORGANIZATION IS A DIGITAL ORGANIZATION. Today, IT is driving innovation. If you can’t deliver software fast, your organization can’t meet the mission, period. Digital organizations are essentially software. If they expect to thrive in a digital environment, they must have an improved competence in software delivery. Gartner 2015 2 COMPLEXITY KILLS PRODUCTIVITY. Complexity is the enemy of innovation, which is why today’s enterprises are looking to automation and DevOps tools and practices. DevOps can help organizations that are pushing to implement a bimodal strategy to support their digitalization efforts. Gartner 2015 3 WHEN YOU AUTOMATE, YOU ACCELERATE. Ansible loves the repetitive work your people hate. It helps smart people do smarter work. All with fewer errors and better accountability. Automation can crush complexity and it gives you the one thing you can’t get enough of… time. 4 “Ansible delivers DevOps to a broader class of enterprise users that include those inside the business units and teams where agile practices and fast provisioning of infrastructure are in demand.” JAY LYMAN, 451 RESEARCH – NOV 2013 GARTNER COOL VENDOR 2015 “Previous vendors in this [DevOps] market often require unique programming skills. Ansible’s simple language reduces the barrier to adoption and opens it up to a variety of skill sets…” 5 AUTOMATION = ACCELERATION “With Ansible Tower, we just click a button and deploy to production in 5 minutes. It used to take us 5 hours with 6 people sitting in a room, making sure we didn’t do anything wrong (and we usually still had errors).

  • Implementing Spacewalk Into Company Infrastructure
    Joonas Lehtimäki Implementing Spacewalk into Company Infrastructure Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Information Technology Thesis 5 June 2013 Abstract Author(s) Joonas Lehtimäki Title Implementing Spacewalk into company infrastructure Number of Pages 49 pages Date 5 June 2013 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Network Engineering Instructor(s) Mika Laasasenaho, Senior Specialist Markku Nuutinen, Principal Lecturer The aim of this thesis was to create Spacewalk Linux management software. Capgemini Finland ordered this software to optimize the working processes for Linux systems. The main goal was to successfully install and configure Spacewalk so it could be used as the main management software for Linux operating systems. The thesis goes through the planning, installation, configuration and deployment phases of Spacewalk. In general management software help administrators to work on multiple systems at a time. Administrators can schedule maintenance tasks, for example updates or scripts. Spacewalk saves the time and effort of each administrator and therefore saves costs. Giving features that Capgemini had specified was an important part of this thesis. These features were RBAC, configuration file management, update deployment and automated installations. Some of the features were hard to implement because of Capgeminis’ high security standards and processes. All features were documented with instructions on how to use them. The result
